mirror background

Was just posting a response and noticed the dates as well. Anyhow, here goes anyways...

I distinctly remember a diving experience a few years back. My dive partner let his mask fill with water which gave the lens a mirror-like quality. A PO'd damselfish appeared from a nearby rock and relentlessly attacked his mask. It was hilarious and I forever found a deep respect for damsels. Just based on that experience, I would say mirrors are a bad idea.

Be glad that damselfish was not a Titan Trigger. But I am not sure why this thread was resurrected after this long period of time.

it's very easy to see if a mirror will freak a fish out: go get a (hand held) mirror and hold it up in front of your fishes!
